Update 13 Devlog 1

Oh look its been 130 days since the last update, funny how that happens. Turns out that when this annoying thing called school starts you have to study or something. But don't worry, I'm not dead. So what changes have I made?

Visual Changes

Attached above is an image of the new UI. While the CRT monitor effect was originally added as an homage to error-unknown's hacking simulator days, and to give you something slightly more interesting to look at, it just wasn't enough. Different screens have different backgrounds. While it currently isn't possible to turn them off, I might add that in the future.

Speaking of Genesis... it's not going to be done any time soon. I'm aiming to get done with the story by this update, so this will have to wait.

Backend Changes

Lots of things to talk about. First the source code. It's available because why not, but all rights are reserved by moi. This doesn't just exist as a joke, its actually updated now.

Second, I've done away with the Base64 archives to store data, it's done with normal folders now. No more twine crashes. I only found out that sugarcube has a built in way to manage B64Arks after I removed then.

Third, I've added new music tracks and sound effects that play when docking to stations.

Misc Changes

Until now, we used SemVer. This won't change, but Dev versions now have the first 7 characters of their SHA sum tacked on to the end, for example, 0.13.0-66ae371c.
